Huckabee Adviser Wants to "Knock Out" Romney's Teeth

Washington Post:

"The negatives feel good," says Ed Rollins, the onetime wunderkind of the Reagan White House and now, at 64, the national campaign chairman for upstart Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. "It's like being a boxer when you're young. To me, hitting somebody, knocking somebody down, is a great feeling. Firing out a negative ad just feels amazing."...

...Riding in the elevator afterward, Rollins says, he told Huckabee, " 'Governor, this is what it means to be president. The president gets lots of advice and makes a lot of tough decisions . . . But you made the decision.'" "I admire the fact he's trying to change the environment," Rollins says. "What I have to do is make sure that my anger with a guy like Romney, whose teeth I want to knock out, doesn't get in the way of my thought process."

Tonight, Romney got his teeth knocked out.

Figuratively speaking...

Running on an anti-Norris platform? I'm glad to see Romney's got his uh, ideals straightened out, but he's bound to alienate the all-important 4Chan and CollegeHumor.com vote...

Rollins is what is wrong with the system. I'm sure you can respond to an ad without attacking someone.

I wish Romney would punch rollins teeth out

Matthew 5:38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:[39] But I say unto you, That ye do not resist evil: and whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, knock his teeth out also!

It's amazing how warlike Christians are. None of them are opposed to war, even in principle. In fact, Christians are actively spreading their "faith" among the U.S. military. Yet the rabbi they claim to follow specifically refused to fight his enemies, and instead pitied and forgave them. He would never have joined ANY military force, nor would he organize one of his own. He refused to engage in earthly politics, remaining totally committed to a celestial agenda requiring selfless service in this world. I see none of that in today's Christians. They are simply like-minded militarists intent on a homogeneous world in their own image.

Chuckles Norris..his face is stretched back tighter that Charlie Watt's snare drum. He's Katherine Harris without the mascara(publicly at least, right Chuckie? wink)
The fact that Ed Rollins is running Huckleberrys campaign is proof that some very rich white men very high up in the Repigian Party want Huckles to win. He's the best strategist they've got, and he doesn't work for free.

I thought they were talking about Chuck Norris! Ed Rollins (a man who actually looks like a marshmellow) would probably do better teaching his candidate a bit about foreign policy. Not that that makes a difference to the Republicans - Bush still can't find Iraq on a map.

Ed Rollins, Hucksterbee's campaign manager and Nazism.During an impromptu TV, cable, interview in the mid 1990's Rollins was posed the questions "why are the Republican Party tactics[with respect to regalia] so much like the tactic the Nazi's used". To which Rollins replied "if the tactics worked for the Nazi's they will work for us[the Republican Party] why wouldn't we[the Republican Party] use the same tactics they[the Nazi's]used".

There you go, forget dignity, decorum and good taste. just have a fist fight. I see their breeding is showing. Doesn't take long for these fine "Christian" men.

Such phony Christians. Them and their fundie supporters are making Jesus turn in his grave - I mean on his cloud - or whatever.

This story isn't about Chuck Norris; it's about Ed Rollins.

Chuck Norris and Ed Rollins. It appears that the Huckabee campaign is really deep in ass-kickers.

The potential future entertainment value of the Huckabee campaign can't be overstated.

Ed Rollins - fueled by hate and the thought of violence toward another human being, albeit an ass like Mitt.

10 seconds with a ball bat, me and one of these Repig cowards - that's all I'm asking.

I'll show them their teeth, spleen and crushed skull.

Each week or so, Republicans have a new front runner, that is, until each of them again does something stupendously idiotic.

Chuck Norris goes Negative...but he did have to stop and ask for directions.

Norris gives stupid has-beens a bad name.
